Hilson denies dig at Beyonce

Keri Hilson denies that a lyric in the remix of Turnin Me On was a dig at Beyonce, saying it referenced other people.

R&B star Keri Hilson has denied suggestions that a remix of her 'Turnin Me On' single included a deliberate dig at Beyonce Knowles. The lyrics include the lines: "Your vision cloudy if you think you the best, you can dance, she can sing, but need to move it to the left".

The singer told Newsbeat that in fact she was having referencing a number of different people. "I'm not hating Beyonce or anyone else for that matter" she said. "I was addressing some people who tried to turn me off. I used lyrics from a popular Beyonce song ('Irreplaceable'). I sampled "to the left, to the left" but it was nothing to her or about her. Now that I listen to it, I understand where it was coming from. The song's really about how long and hard I fought to get where I'm at".
